People who have such extremist and alienating views such as his should not be allowed to represent the people of Australia. Being the Intelligence (?) Minister, he comes across a lot of secret information that could be passed on to the terrorists he loves. I think that this is something for the Australian people to be concerned about.

This greedy rabid anti semite seeks political power by absoloutely denying his origin! He forgets that his forefathers were slaughtered in the holocoust and that today there are many threats of wiping Israel of the map! He should be denounced werever possible! He should NEVER be allowed entance to Israel and put on Israels "wanted list as unwanted"

This guy is an idiot - who just happens to be a member of the SA government and is Jewish. So what? I'm just glad he's NOT helping run my country!

in the mould of Trotsky(.He is the Minister of Intelligence) His greatest regret is not having had a part in Dr Zhivago having missed the 1917 Russian Revolution.(He does however like the finer points of Capitalism-like the good South African life .) He wouldnt dream of missing an opportunity to show his anti Zionist credentials(which are very well developed).That is his speciality. Please dont expect any Jewish Neshoma from him.You wont get it . I laugh because all readers of these posts expect him as being of Lithuanian Jewish heritage(via Doornfontein or similar) to be like this or like that.Forget it . He is an avowed Marxist Leninist who fancies himself in the murky world of "intelligence"

Ronnie Kasrils might have been born a Jew in Latvia, but his not Jewish in custom, thought or religion. In fact his a disgrace to our community & a well known communist.Enough said.......

Reading the remarks from the Jewish community leaders in S.A. leaves me very concerned for their safety. They say that they dare not protest in public for security reasons, and that they are surrounded by a vast Moslem, anti-Zionist populace. I know South African Jews - they are smart, successful, and faithful to Torah and Zionism. I pray that they all move to Israel, with all their talents and their wonderful families, and leave the madman Kasrils behind.

That there are a lot of Jews in this world who have not bought into the Zionists' crapola. These Jews are the wise men and women, about 20000 of them still live in Iran, who are not occupying anyone's home, assassinating them and stealing their land.

Kasrils may the South African Minister of Intelligence Services but he's living proof that you don't need a double digit IQ to be a politician.

Kasrils statements and actions are just representative of SA policy. Given recent actions of SA, does it even make sense for Israel to maintain relations with them? Anti-Israel actions are one thing, but anti-Semitism (as evidenced by their actions on the Holocaust denial vote) is quite another. In fact, Israel should have pressed the "Western" states to apply pressure on SA for that one. What a disgrace! Also, given these policies, why do Jews continue to stay on in SA? Lastly, I think part of the reason for SA policy is (in their eyes) payback, for Israel's relationship with the prior Aparthied government.

I think Aussies say oy oy?? If memory serves I also think Kissinger's diatribe was often a tzheppah to the MOY or GOI whichever you prefer? Yom Dov!! (-:

You cannot make the racist regime of Israel equal with Jewish. I respect Jewish people but I cannot approve an Apartheid regime like Israel. It’s like making Nazi looks like Christianity.

Yes, my government's policy is partly a pay-back for the long-established and only partly-documented relationship between the apartheid regime and past Israeli governments. When we were being tormented for all those years, Israeli leaders were in bed with our tormentors. Another aspect of why the South African government acts they way they do is also very obvious: the South Africans see the raw deal of the Palestinians and can more than identify with their suffering under the yoke of ethno-religious jingoism.

Oops Nazis were Christian and their are many Nazis here in the United States that will proudly proclaim their Xianity for you if you like. Now I know we are not supposed to say that and Lashon Ra does prohibit being mean but, what can I say a fact s a fact and it one that I feel is to often ignored. Haveinu Shalom Aleikum

dear mr. persian cat: the jews had an independent kingdom in israel 3,000 years ago. since king david (the jew) made jerusalem his capital. and that capital is where jesus (the jew) walked and prayed 2,000 years ago. that is why the proper name for jerusalem, in arabic, is "al quds AL YAHUD" (the holy place of the jews). it is also the reason why arabs did not want to call themselves "palestinian" until 1964, because they knew that "palestine" was the roman name for the occupied jewish kingdom. as for other perversions of language, so long as it is punishable by death to sell property to a jew, any and all purchases by jews are "stealing" arab land, but no one seems to mention that many arabs live and/or farm on land that they don't legally own, whether it is state-owned or by an absentee landlord. (the land records go back to the ottoman empire.) but if the legal owners of the land try to claim it, they call it "stealing". but the biggest "theft" of land in palestine was the creation of "transjordan", which is an arab state created on 77% of the land administered by the british as "palestine". that IS the arab state of palestine, and not the territories that israel conquered (NOT "occupied") in 1967. for thieves like the PLO to now demand a second arab state of "palestine" of the remaining 23% is outrageous. as for charges of "murdering palestinians", it seems odd that when arabs kill jewish women and children in schools, theatres, and shopping malls, it is "resistance operations", but when jews fight back it is called a "massacre" (even when the booby-trapped explosives are placed by armed arab gunmen in their own houses, such as jenin). the logic of "resistance" after the complete and total israeli withdrawals from lebanon and gaza is mind-boggling. rather than ensuring peace, the israeli withdrawals provided a launching pad for thousands of missiles fired at israeli civilians. it is hard to imagine a bigger lie than the arab participation in the "peace process". "zionist crapola"? the facts are that the islamists are engaged in a genocidal campaign to kill all the jews, for political and religious reasons. and lying about it seems to "fool some of the people some of the time".

No , they are not occupying anyone's land, but they have been discriminated against by Islmist fascists like you for so long that they are forced to leave their homes that you and other Moslems are occupying. Enough of them have moved to Israel, the country that you greedy Moslems want to occupy or destroy. I hope they decide to let you occupy their homes and leave the country before it becomes impossible for you to even tolerate to see them alive. Its better to loss your home to barabarians than to be killed by them. For animals like you its only a matter on time until you show your real face. As soon as you see you don't need them for propaganda anymore you will kill them all.

Not only are you ignorant about world affairs, you are also ignorant of proper English grammar. Please learn English before writing in public. You write: "It’s like making Nazi looks like Christianity", the S in looks is an error. Your analogy is also wrong. Israel to Jews is not like Nazi Germany to Christianity. A better analogy would be England to Anglicans or the Papal State i.e. The Vatican to the Catholic Church. The Nazi Party stands for National Social Party, nothing to do with Christianity. On the other hand Israel is 'The Jewish State', as is Iran 'The Islamic Republic' and Saudi Arabia the heart of Islam, the Koran is the Constitution there. Before you write again, get educated! You are embarrassing the Canadian educational system. Idiot!

Equating the Israel with Nazis is like spitting on the graves of the millions of victims of the Holocaust. They haven't been systematically killing and oppressing millions simply because of race, and in what history did you read of Nazis allowing Jews to be in the govt, live in the country freely and criticize it? As for the article, unfortunately there are self-hating scum like this, and the fact that he got so high up the govt is alarming.

This should be a minister of Moron. He is an embarassment to the jewish community. I hope Israel never extends him even the courtesy of a visa.

It seems this Jewish Minister is fair not biased brainwashed like mots Jews.

http://www.aish.com/jewishissues/israeldiary/A_Muslim_in_a_Jewish_Land.asp I am S.African and now live in Israel and I challenge you to read the following article and also to visit Israel yourself and you will perhaps see it is NO WAY apartheid. Nothing like S.Africa ever was! How easy to say "apartheid"but did you ever actually evaluate the reality without media bias?

How many idiots from the Jewish community have you so far identified besides the South African minister?What about the ones who attended the conference in Iran.Hope you are keeping a count,Scott?:)
